About Me

Get a DUI attorney. that is the most effective advice you can follow if you have been arrested for drunk driving. If you're thinking of headed off to court, charged with driving under the influence (DUI) without a DUI lawyer on your side, think again. There are some arguments that people will offer you telling to not get a DUI attorney, the chief of that being that you simply cannot really afford a DUI attorney. however the reality is, you can not afford to not have a DUI lawyer.

A man who used to live in Aspen is now defending himself against
severe drug charges. The man was arrested in Florida after Drug
Enforcement Administration agents said the man was involved in an
elaborate drug dealing network that brought hundreds of kilos of
cocaine to the region.
There is a lot at stake for the man, who is confident the
government agency has no evidence that he was involved in drug
dealing. The man could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
During the man's arguments and questioning of witnesses, he pointed
out that the DEA had no surveillance video of him partaking in drug
sales, and had no evidence that he profited from drug sales or
purchased any goods with drug money.

When a person is accused of a crime, it is the government's
responsibility to prove that the person is guilty. That means
presenting evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the person
committed the crime. An experienced attorney can help a person
understand their rights and help ensure a person isn't wrongfully
convicted.

Depending on a person's age, a 20 year prison sentence could mean
the person spending the rest of their life, or a good portion of
their life behind prison walls. On top of serving prison time, people
who are convicted may face problems assimilating into society again
after being released. This could result in the person not being able
to find work or housing. It might be wise for someone accused of a
crime to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
